Motorola will supply Airwave with an eTETRA dual-band solution providing additional capacity to emergency services in the UK.
The upgrade to Airwave’s core emergency services network was instigated to ensure the operational needs of police and other emergency services are met. Airwave will support emergency services personnel requiring secure communication in the event of major incidents as well as maintaining secure, uncompromised day-to-day operational activities, the telecoms firm adds.
“This significant and demanding project demonstrates the continued trust our customers place in our TETRA networks for mission-critical communications, and it is Motorola’s innovation in both infrastructure and terminal TETRA technology that has made this solution possible,” says Manuel Torres, corporate vice president and general manager, Enterprise Mobility Solutions, Motorola, EMEA. “Our eTETRA solution demonstrates not only that the technology is continuously evolving in response to ever changing public safety customer needs and challenges but also that Motorola is future proofing technology through the ability to leverage the wideband capability within our existing terminals deployed in the field for use in the eTETRA solution.”
